Privacy Policy

Our vision in short is “diving made easy”.

By combining the latest technology, experience and innovation there are many different functions and ways you can use Cloudiver and the associated tools, such as DiveGuard.

We allow you to collect, generate or upload information, communicate with other people or to create new content. When you share information with us, for example by creating an Account, we can make our services even better in order to show you more relevant content, ads, and job offers. We wish to continuously improve your experience and to help you connect with people, contractors or to make sharing with others easier.

However, for us it is important that you know and are aware of how we operate and how things work. We recommend that you study terms like cookies, IP addresses, pixel tags and browsers so that when we explain more about these you know what we are talking about.

Your privacy matters to us so please read the privacy policy thoroughly and also see our data protection policy. If you have questions please contact us.

What Information does Cloudiver collect?

We collect information to provide the best possible user experience. This requires us to collect basic info like name, e-mail, which language you speak, where you live, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful, the people important to you online, depths you work at, or which contractors or job offers you might like.

Cookies and Internet Advertising

This section describes use of cookies, other technologies and third-party data collection.

We and our Service Providers use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons) for various reasons. For example, we use cookies and other technologies to make it easy to access our services by remembering you when you return, to provide and analyze our services, to learn more about use and interests, and to deliver and tailor marketing or advertising.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a website. The cookie will help website providers to recognise your device the next time you visit their website. There are other similar technologies such as pixel tags (transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email, which indicate that a page or email has been viewed), web bugs (similar to pixel tags), and web storage, which are used in desktop software or mobile devices.

We also use other types of technology that enable this functionality, similar types of technologies. See below for more information and examples.

Why do we use cookies?

We and our Service Providers may use the following types of cookies:

  • Operational: These cookies are necessary to allow us to operate the Service as you have requested. For example, they let us recognise what type of subscriber you are and then provide you with services accordingly.
  • Performance / Analytics: We use these cookies to analyse how the Service is accessed, is used, or is performing. We use this information to maintain, operate, and continually improve the Service. We may also obtain information from our email newsletters, including whether you opened or forwarded a newsletter or clicked on any of its content. This information tells us about our newsletters' effectiveness and helps us ensure that we're delivering information that you find interesting. Deletion of these types of cookies will result in limited functionality of our service.
  • Functional: These cookies let us operate certain functions of the Service in line with the choices you make. These cookies mean that when you continue to use or come back to the Service, we can provide you with our services as you have asked for them to be provided, such as knowing your username, remembering how you have customised our services, and reminding you of content you have enjoyed.
  • Advertising cookies:These cookies use information about your visit to this and other websites, such as the pages you visit, your use of our service or your response to ads and emails, to deliver ads that are more relevant to you. These types of ads are called "Interest-Based Advertising." Many of the advertising cookies associated with our service belong to our Service Providers.
  • Third Party: We may allow our business partners to use cookies on or outside the Service for the same purposes identified above, including collecting information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We may also use service providers acting on our behalf to use cookies for the purposes identified above.

 

How do we use other technologies?

We and our Service Providers may use web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. We use them for similar purposes as cookies. Because web beacons often work in conjunction with cookies, in many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons.

We use other technologies that are similar to cookies, such as browser storage and plugins. Like cookies, some of these technologies may store small amounts of data on your device. We may use these and various other technologies for similar purposes as cookies, such as to enforce our terms, prevent fraud, and analyze the use of our service.

How can I monitor cookies and other types of technologies?

There are a number of ways to exercise choices regarding these technologies. For example, many popular browsers provide the ability to clear browser storage, commonly in the settings or preferences area; see your browser’s help function or support area to learn more. Other technologies, such as Silverlight storage, may be cleared from within the application. For more information about the use of cookies and how to block them, visit: www.youronlinechoices.eu  (Europe), www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.aboutads.info/choices. There also exist specially designed tools for monitoring cookies as well as other types of online tracking such as  www.ghostery.com  or www.disconnect.me.

How do we use information we collect?

The information we collect from all of our services is used to provide, maintain, protect and improve your experience with our products and services. We also use it to develop new ones, and to protect our brands and our users. This information helps us to offer you tailored content such as relevant ads or job searches.

When you contact us, we keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.

Information collected from cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, is used to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. For example, by saving your language preferences, we’ll be able to show ads in your preferred language irrespective of the device.

Our systems analyze your content to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized job search results or tailored advertising.

If we wish to use information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy we will always ask for your consent.

As we process personal information on our servers in several locations around the world we may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live.

How does Cloudiver protect your privacy? 

Each person has different privacy concerns, and your individual concerns matter to us. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, and give you choices about how it is used. For example, you can:

Review and update your Account and profile settings to decide what types of data you would like saved or preferences, such as for notifications or ads, associated with your account when you use our services.

Adjust your profile settings and how the Profile associated with your Account appears to others.

We believe it is necessary for you to know when you are giving others access to Personal Information and have included approval functions to protect you. For example, when applying for a job offer you need to confirm that you wish to share your extended profile, CV and related documents.

You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. However, it’s important to remember that many of our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. For example, we may not remember your language preferences.
